We are in the process of designing a new system for the processing and
storage of satellite generated sea level information.  We are currently
using 2.5 GBYTE 8MM SCSI tape drives for the offline storage of our data.
However, we have been disappointed with the performance (they are slow)
and reliability of these units.  I looking for an alternate.  Does anyone
have any suggestions?

If the response warrants, I will summerize.      

Thanks in advance,   Bernie
